Description

Episode 57: Today I sit down with California-based professional landscape photographer and educator, Michael Frye, to chat about:

• His early days working at the Ansel Adams Gallery and who were some of his sources of inspiration
• What the art and craft of landscape photography means
• How both light on the landscape and the light from within can evoke emotions and moods in landscape photography
• The difference between developing your vision as a photographer versus a personal style
• Creating personally expressive photographs from iconic locations
• Why do we photograph nature?
• The power of observation and releasing expectations
• Working with the light you have to create mood
• Balancing simplicity and complexity
• What makes a great photograph
• And a lot more!
